Hello all.
I have recieved a implementation of Common TeX for the amiga.
I have two problems.  1. I need more fonts!  I have MetaFont for
my machine, but do not know how to use it to make fonts.  Please
help!  2. It comes with the program virtex and plain.fmt, how can
I get it to understand latex?  I realize that I need lplain.fmt but
didn't know that it needed to be compiled on my machine.  Could I
just load in the latex.tex as a macro for tex?  I understand that
this would take a large amount of memory, but I do have 3 meg available.

I guess that I have one more question.  Do the tfm fonts have to be
made on my machine also?  I have some from the St version and I don't think that they work correctly.  Anyway I need alot of help because I
am new to TeX.  Thank you very much for all replies.
